Hind Swaraj

About this book

Hind Swaraj or Indian Home Rule is a book written by Mohandas K. Gandhi while traveling from London to South Africa. Banned by the then government under the pretext of being seditious, hind swaraj is written in the form of a dialogue between Gandhi and his close friend, pranjivan Mehta as they argue about beliefs based on civilization, conditions of India and England, passive resistance, and education. Hind swaraj played a vital role in boosting the morale of fellow Indians and helped articulate confidence that India would achieve independence by refusing to be enslaved by Western civilization.
